Isn't the entire fucking reason we're there in the first place to prove that we're better then them? If we start shooting civilians that just shows that we're morally corrupt and it's right of them to drive airplanes into our buildings.
The fire order was pretty legit, he was told "We have several people with AK-47's and an RPG here, do we have permission to fire?", ofcourse he'd give the fire order. The problem is the blind idiot who can't see the difference between a camera and an rpg.
Well, when you don't have to spend any time on game design or art direction because you're ripping everything off I suppose you have quite a lot of extra time to spend on networking features. A lot of the features also comes from the fact everything is centrally hosted which is not something most companies want to pay for.
A lot of popular multiplayer games were at their core designed for singleplayer, the game engines of Counterstrike, Call of Duty, Bad Company etc get most of their sales from people that just play though the campaign and that also leads to developers being unwilling to spend so much of their time on networking features.
The reputation is well deserved, and it's not in "good fun". The problem is that DotA is designed in such a way that if one team get's a few kills in the beginning, they're almost guaranteed to win. It's impossible for the other 4 people on the team to compensate for the 5th bad player because he's feeding the other team such an extraordinary amount of gold and xp.
In most games playing 4+noob vs 5 is basically like playing 4v5, but with DotA it's more like playing 4v6 once you account for all the extra stuff the other team gets. And since people don't like losing, they get very hostile when they realize that they're in such a situation.
You used the example of a 5v5 basketball pickup game, I used to play those all the time and it didn't matter if one of the players was a noob, what's the worst that can happen? You're never worse off in basketball by playing 4+noob rather then 4 and eventually the player will learn. I've never heard of such a thing as someone insulting new players in conventional sports and if that's the norm in your neighborhood you should really consider moving somewhere where people aren't pricks.
Well, it's hardly surprising. A lot of those mechanics were due to how the core WC3 engine worked, and HoN is made by people who when realizing that their own games arn't very popular, wanted to make an exact copy of the rather popular DotA.
League of Legends on the other hand is intended to be a sequel and the developers seems to hope to create something better then DotA rather then just making a clone of something they already did.
"Or is it just that people are throwing consistency out of the window and saying "We can afford to lose a couple of records or have a couple of dangling references here and there, as long as it SCALES""
Hmm, I could actually see that being the case for some applications, probably not one common in the business world but for research it's probably fairly likely you might generate huge datasets where losing individual records wouldn't matter much.
the RIAA are not part of the list of supporters and traditionally everything that can be abused has been abused, see every law in the history of mankind.
Anyhow there's nothing wrong with the concept behind this bill, just questionable if it'll be effective or not. Usually in the case of countries with very high crime the government will keep saying "Yes, yes, we're working as hard as we can to crack down on it!" but in the end they're powerless and trying to sanction the country just leads to even more crime as poverty increases.
I don't think American Express, Paypall, Visa and Mastercard are worried about people ignoring their EULA and pirating their IP. I suspect they rather hope to catch all the people stealing credit card details.
They'd consider it, then they'd realize that Spain is part of the EU and making trade sanctions against the EU is like shooting yourself in the foot with a shotgun, so instead they'll probably rattle their sabers meaninglessly at countries like Serbia and Ukraine.
DRM doesn't affect pirates at all, they just crack use the 0-day crack and play their game perfectly DRM free so the only people that are actually affected are the genuine customers.
From the Pirates perspective, what's the difference between a 0-day crack and a DRM free game? That you have to copy one file manually?
This is the sad, horrifying truth of the singleplayer game market, regardless of your DRM you're pretty much forced to rely on the customer paying out of their sense of honor because your DRM/will/ be cracked. (When it comes to multiplayer games the developers have access to the ultimate DRM that is centralized servers where they can make sure that each player has a unique cd-key)
Both Snow and Lack of Snow fit the model because the model predicts higher temperature variations. The fact that you think that this is inconsistent is just because you haven't actually read their predictions.
Wrong direction:p. You're sharing the frequency with the people trying to hear what the satellites are saying(Making such communication impossible if that band is overused, which is why it's illegal), Earth to Space use a different frequency.

That's why you should never be allowed near a weapon ever. Maybe stricter vision tests for military personal are necessary.

You mean the camera stand? you're either trolling or need new glasses.
None of that matters, they had a really good view and must have been fucking blind to have believed that those guys were armed.
Ehm, Glider is the most wellknown bot, the program you're thinking about is Warden which scans your memory for common keyloggers and bots.

o.O Absinthe is basically a bottle of whisky with shrooms.
It's 70-90% alcohol with a hallucigenic drug mixed in.

Many countries do not care about the legality of the evidence, though I don't know if Italy is one of them or not.
This is a completely different legal action in an entirely different country. This case was about forcing an ISP to block access to the site.

Atleast in Sweden copyright law states that nothing produced by a machine can be copyrighted.
Shouldn't load balancing be the operating systems job?
Both Snow and Lack of Snow fit the model because the model predicts higher temperature variations. The fact that you think that this is inconsistent is just because you haven't actually read their predictions.
As far as I know all you have to do is ask for the model to get it.
Which would be awesome and all if anyone cared :p
Linux desktop penetration is what, 2%? (random guess)
Wrong direction :p. You're sharing the frequency with the people trying to hear what the satellites are saying(Making such communication impossible if that band is overused, which is why it's illegal), Earth to Space use a different frequency.
That channel is used for Space to Earth satellite transmission, see:

It's not like they need new game ideas or universes as long as they can provide high quality entertainment.
